Today our dear SMASH photographer sent us the photos 📸 and they’re awesome! Over the next few days we’ll be spamming you a bit with them 🙂 After that, we’re heading into a short break.

The first post will be a thank you to the judges, because without them none of this would have been possible. They generously gave their time, came to SMASH, and professionally judged the competition as they do every year.

It’s especially impressive that we have judges coming from as far as Istria and Zagreb, as well as our newly certified local BJCP judges. A special thank you goes to , who even travels from Prague just to be part of SMASH.

We also want to give a big thank you to our great friend of SMASH, who has been with us since the very beginning and has joined us every single year.

A special thank you also goes to the good spirit of SMASH, who is always there by your side whenever things get tough.

A big thank you to all the judges:

Naši prijatelji iz Rijeke, , koji su nedavno zakoračili u profesionalno kuhanje piva, poslali su nam svoje pive da ih degustiramo na SMASH‑u.
Posebno nam stiže njihovo prvo core pivo, nefiltrirani češki pilsner PLZ.

PLZ je njihov početni, ali već prepoznatljivi lager: čist, svjež, nefiltriran i kuhan u klasičnom češkom stilu, s mekom sladnom bazom i plemenitim hmeljem koji daje onu elegantnu, tradicionalnu aromu.

Drago nam je što ih možemo malo promovirati i predstaviti njihovo prvo core pivo na festivalu. Veselimo se degustaciji!🥰

▫️English 👇🏻
Our friends from Rijeka, Brklee Brewery, who recently stepped into professional brewing, sent us some of their beers to sample at SMASH.
We’re especially excited to taste their first core beer, the unfiltered Czech pilsner PLZ.

PLZ is their debut core lager: clean, fresh, unfiltered, brewed in a classic Czech style with a soft malt backbone and noble hop character that brings a refined, traditional profile.

We’re happy to give them a bit of spotlight and present their first core beer at the festival.
Can’t wait to taste it! 🥰

Split Beer Fest lineup se širi, i to s dva ozbiljna igrača craft scene!

Uz 19 pivovara iz Hrvatske i regije, pridružuju nam se još iz Buzeta i iz Brežica (SLO).

🍺 Bruman (Buzet)
Istarska mikro pivovara osnovana 2018., iza koje stoje Darko, Goran i Dragan, ekipa koja je krenula iz garaže, a danas kuha oko 17.000 litara godišnje. Njihovo ime znači radišan, marljiv čovjek, što im savršeno paše jer su poznati po čistim, preciznim i zahmeljenim stilovima.

🍺 Reset Brewery (Brežice, Slovenija)
Mladi, ali izuzetno ozbiljni, osnovani 2020., vođeni od strane pivara s titulom Certified Cicerone. Njihova filozofija je pitkost i kvaliteta, uz korištenje slovenskih hmeljeva za elegantne stilove i modernih hop proizvoda za eksplozivno hmeljne pive. Imaju vlastiti taproom, kuhinju i reputaciju jedne od najboljih craft destinacija u Sloveniji.

S njima lineup postaje još ozbiljniji, a najave stilova svih pivovara koje čete moći probati stižu uskoro.

Vidimo se 16.5. u bašti ! 🤗🥰💪🏻🥳

Naš dugogodišnji partner .split ponovno je s nama!
Već treću godinu zaredom, Nirs nas podržava i osigurava nam staklene čaše koje su postale standard na našem eventu i među natjecateljima. 🥳

Uz to, Nirs u svom asortimanu ima i širok izbor porculana, stakla i profesionalnih proizvoda za ugostiteljstvo, što ih čini jednim od najpouzdanijih dobavljača u industriji, ali upravo su njihove čaše ono što svake godine podiže kvalitetu našeg događaja.

Zato nam je posebno drago što su opet uz nas, ne samo kao sponzor, nego kao dio ekipe koja pomaže da svaki detalj eventa izgleda i funkcionira kako treba.🥰

Hvala Nirsu na povjerenju, podršci i partnerstvu koje traje već tri godine.
Idemo zajedno u još jednu rundu!🥳💪🏻

🇬🇧 English

Our long‑time partner Nirs is with us once again!
For the third year in a row, Nirs is supporting our event by providing glassware, which has become a recognizable part of our competition and the experience for all participants.

In addition to that, Nirs offers a wide range of porcelain, glassware, and professional hospitality supplies, but it’s their glassware that they sponsor us with and that elevates the quality of our event year after year.

We’re genuinely proud to have them with us again- not just as a sponsor, but as part of the team that helps every detail of the event look and perform at its best.

Thank you, Nirs, for the trust, support, and partnership that continues into its third year.
Here’s to another great round together! 🥳💪🏻
